Williamsburg, KY – The Tree Stand Safety Awareness Foundation (TSSA) is a non-profit organization that focuses on tree stand safety and ensures that every hunter that uses a tree stand does so in a safe manner so that he or she comes home safe to their family and friends. The mission of the Tree Stand Safety Awareness Foundation is to significantly reduce tree stand incidents through promotion, education, and best practices.
As September was Tree Stand Safety Awareness Month, TSSA and S3DA teamed up to provide S3DA youth members with an educational quiz on the importance of Tree Stand Safety. Additionally, youth members could submit photos for a Tree Stand Photo contest. Every youth member who completed the quiz or submitted photos was entered into a drawing for a chance to win a Hunter Safety System harness and lifeline, or a Realtree EZ Hanger Combo Set.
The lucky winners announced were:
